Question

Could I still be having twins?

Share

This is my forth pregnancy and right now i'm 8 weeks. But I'm already showing everyone says I look like I'm about 5 and a half months. My first ultrasound only showed one baby but twins run in my family. Is there a chance they might have over looked and only saw one baby?

I am currently 12 weeks with twins. I think it is completely possible. A friend of mine had no clue she was having twins until 20 weeks. She now has two beautiful 18 month old little girls! I was very fortunate, My babies were caught at 8 weeks! You would not necessarily hear two heart beats as you can not hear the hb that early. You can see the hb and monitor it but not hear it. If your babies are hiding one behind the other, this is entirely likely!!

Twins are always a possibility with every pregnancy. They are a true mystery that no one quite understands. I dont think its too early to start showing...I was showing at 3 months and they never heard two heart beats, my blood work and all my test came up reflecting that i was only having one baby. It wasnt until I was almost 6 months along and gain alot more weight that i should have been gaining according to the docs records (for only having one baby) that they realized I was having twins. The little boogers liked to fool the docs. One of my two munchkins heart beat was in sync with mine and they never heard it. I told them when I first went in for my first visit that I thought I was having twins and they tried to convince me otherwise. It didnt work, i knew. Just listen to your body and go with your gut. There are people who dont know until they deliver...so just eat healthy and take care of you and your little one(s) and see what the good Lord blesses you with!

Not likely, they would have heart 2 heart beats. You are most likely bloated, I was at the beginning, even if you were having twins its way too soon to be showing and have it be the baby, he's only the size of a kidney bean or somewhere around that.
